23 March 2020 Update for Parents
Our first online tuition session took place today and everything seems to working. Please do stay patient with us this week - in ideal circumstances we would have had longer than five days to set up and configure an entirely new service with no access to our offices, so we do expect there to be some bumps that need to be smoothed out along the way.
Quick summary of our updates so far:
✅ Online tuition is available now on our website at:
www.studyseed.co.uk/online
✅ Pricing - we have lowered our individual tuition rates and added in the ability to book shorter 30-minute and 45-minute session times.
✅ 'Bring a Friend' - students can book a friend into their online tuition session so that they can connect into the session from their own home. This further lowers the cost and we hope this will be a reassuring feature for anyone who is a little nervous about their first few online tuition sessions.
✅ 'Ask a Tutor' - we are a social enterprise and as part of our ethos of giving back, we deliver support services for students in our local schools. Obviously, we cannot do this at the moment and so our team of tutors have volunteered time each week to provide free educational support to children of frontline workers and for any families who cannot afford to book a full tuition session. We are still working on our sign-up feature for this and time slots, so we will update you on this service soon.
✅ CURRENT STUDENTS - all classes are going ahead as normal this week online. We will send you all details of how to connect to the tuition sessions. We are using Zoom - it can be downloaded at www.zoom.us and this software is free on desktops, laptops and as an app for phones and tablets. If any parents or students would like to try out a call with us to test the platform out, we'll all be near our computers over the next few days so just let us know!
We'll have further updates with you soon as we continue to work through this.

Note taking. It’s something that all students find themselves doing - but something that they often receive little guidance on how to do well . Good note-keeping should be concise, structured and organised. This guide is going to walk you through each of these aspects and explain how and why you should write your notes in a way that follows this approach. You can download our FREE note templates at the bottom of this page.
